(d) In the event that either Party desires to use a third party service provider (“Service Provider”), including, for example, an engineering design firm or a contract manufacturer, to develop or produce the Product using Technology or Technology Improvements, all Parties to this Agreement must first enter into at least an acceptable non-disclosure and technology ownership agreement with the Service Provider. Neither Party to this Agreement may disclose any Confidential Information to a Service Provider unless (i) both Parties to this Agreement have individually entered into a non-disclosure agreement with the Service Provider and (ii) the Service Provider has a presence in the United States and is able to be served legal documents in the United States or agrees, in writing, that it can be served and that United States Courts have personal jurisdiction over the Service Provider.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) is presently in the Receiving Party's possession, provided that such information has not been obtained from the Disclosing Party and that such possession can be demonstrated by the Receiving Party's written records; (ii) is, or becomes, generally available to the public through no act or omission of the Receiving Party; (iii) is received by the Receiving Party in written form from a third party having no binding obligation to keep such information confidential; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by law, upon the advice of legal counsel.

(f) Specific Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be available to the public or in the possession of the Receiving Party merely because it is embraced by more general information so available or in said Receiving Party's possession, nor shall a combination or aggregation of features which form confidential information be deemed to be non-confidential merely because the individual features, without being combined or aggregated, are non- confidential.

(g) Each of the Parties hereby agrees that all written or other tangible forms of Confidential Information (including any materials generated by the Receiving P arty related to any Confidential Information) shall be and remain the property of its owner and shall be promptly returned to the owner upon the written request of the owner.

(h) Neither the Agreement nor the disclosure of any information by the Disclosing Party shall be deemed to constitute by implication or otherwise, a vesting of any title or interest or a grant of any license, immunity or other right to the Receiving Party with regard to the Confidential Information. Additionally, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the execution of the Agreement shall not operate, directly or indirectly, to grant to either Party any rights under any patent, trade secret or know-how now or hereafter owned by or licensed to the other Party.

5

(i) Each Party warrants that it is the rightful owner of the Confidential Information to be disclosed under this Agreement and that it has the lawful right to make such disclosure.

(j) In the event that the Receiving Party or any of its representatives are requested or required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a subpoena or an order of a court or government agency, the Receiving Party shall (i) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding the governmental request or requirements; (ii) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow the request; (iii) if disclosure of Confidential Information is required, furnish only such portion of the Confidential Information as the Receiving Party is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed; and (iv) cooperate with the Disclosing Party in its efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed.

(k) Because money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section of the Agreement by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach of this Section. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this Section of the Agreement by the Receiving Party, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the Disclosing Party. In the event of litigation relating to the Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Receiving Party has breached this Section of the Agreement, then the Receiving Party shall be liable and pay to the Disclosing Party the reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses of litigation, including any appeal therefrom. The Receiving Party further agrees to waive any requirement for the posting of a bond in connection with any such equitable relief.

11. No Liability to Third Parties. The debts, obligations and liabilities of either Joint Venturer, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of such Joint Venturer, and no other Party shall be obligated for any such debt, obligation or liability of such Joint Venturer solely by reason of being a party to this Agreement or an equity holder of the Joint Venture.

12. Deadlock. In the event the Joint Venturers are divided on a material issue and cannot agree on the conduct of the business and affairs of the Joint Venture, then a deadlock between the Joint Venturers shall be deemed to have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a deadlock, one Joint Venturer (hereinafter referred to as the “Offeror”) may elect to purchase the Joint Venture interest of the other Joint Venturer (hereinafter referred to as the “Offeree”) at a price calculated as the Offeree's percentage interest in a total purchase price for all of the assets of the Joint Venture. The Offeror shall notify the Offeree in writing of the offer to purchase, stating the total purchase price for all of the assets of the Joint Venture, and the price offered for the Offeree's Joint Venture interest expressed as the Offeree's percentage interest in the Joint Venture assets multiplied by the total purchase price for all of the assets of the Joint Venture. The Offeree shall have the right to buy the interest of the Offeror at the designated price and terms, or to sell the Offeree's interest to the Offeror at the designated price and terms, whichever the Offeree may elect. The offer, when made by the Offeror, is irrevocable for thirty (30) days. The Offeree shall have ten (10) days from the receipt of such offer to make its election, that is, either to buy such interest of the Offeror or to sell its own interest, which shall be made in writing executed by the Offeree and stating the nature of the election. A Joint Venturer which is obligated to purchase the interest of another Joint Venturer pursuant to the provisions hereof shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the written election from such other Joint Venturer to pay the designated price and satisfy the terms of such purchase. Should the Joint Venturer who has received an offer to sell or buy fail to make the election required herein in a timely fashion, then such non-responding party shall be deemed to have elected and agreed to sell or buy, as the case may be, according to the terms of the offer.

14. Transfers of Joint Venturers' Interests. Except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, no Joint Venturer may sell, transfer, assign or encumber its interest in the Joint Venture, or admit additional Joint Venturers, without the prior written consent of the other Joint Venturer.

20. Waiver. Failure on the part of either Joint Venturer to complain of any act of the other Joint Venturer or to declare the other Joint Venturer in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Joint Venturer of its rights hereunder. No waiver of, or consent to, any breach or default shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of, or consent to, any future breach or default.

21. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of the other provisions herein contained shall not be affected thereby, and all such other provisions shall remain effective and in force and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
